Is there any guidance on operating expense trends, especially SG&A and R&D, for the rest of the year?

Short answer: The press release you’ve provided does not include any specific guidance on how Owlet expects its operating‑expense categories—particularly SG&A (selling, general & administrative) and R&D (research & development)—to evolve for the remainder of 2025. The announcement focuses on the Q2 2025 results, an increase to the full‑year 2025 financial outlook, and a forthcoming CEO transition, but it does not break down or forecast future SG&A or R&D expense trends.

Why the press release doesn’t provide that detail

Thus, based solely on the information you’ve shared, there is no explicit guidance on SG&A or R&D trends for the remainder of 2025.

What you can do next

1. Listen to / read the conference‑call transcript
   
   The call scheduled for August 7 2025 at 4:30 p.m. ET (hosted by CEO Kurt Workman, President Jonathan Harris, and CFO Amanda Twede Crawford) is the most likely source for any forward‑looking expense guidance. Companies often include a slide titled “Operating Expense Outlook” or “SG&A & R&D Guidance” in the investor presentation that accompanies the call.

2. Check the full press release on Business Wire
   
   The complete Business Wire release (often > 1,000 words) usually contains a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) Highlights” section where companies will say things like:

• “We expect SG&A to grow at a low‑single‑digit percent‑of‑revenue rate in the second half of 2025 as we continue to invest in marketing and expand our sales team.”
• “R&D spending is expected to remain flat / increase modestly as we advance the next generation of our Smart Sock and related platform capabilities.”

1. Look for a “Financial Outlook” or “Guidance” table
   Public companies sometimes include a table with FY 2025 outlook numbers for:

• Revenue
• Gross profit
• Operating expenses (SG&A, R&D)
• Operating income
  If such a table is present in the full release, it will give the exact percentages or dollar amounts you are seeking.

1. Check the SEC filing (Form 8‑K/10‑Q) for Q2 2025
   
   The quarterly report filed with the SEC (10‑Q for Q2) will contain a detailed “Operating Expenses” section and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” narrative. Companies often provide year‑end expectations for each expense category in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section.

2. Follow up with Investor Relations (IR)
   
   If the public documents still don’t disclose the specific trend guidance, you can:

• Email Owlet’s Investor Relations (IR) contact (usually listed at the bottom of the press release) and ask specifically: “Could you confirm whether there is guidance for SG&A and R&D expense growth for the rest of FY 2025?”
• Look for an IR presentation or “Quarterly Update” slide deck on the “Investor Relations” section of the Owlet website. These slides often contain a slide titled “Operating Expenses – Outlook”.

Summary

• No guidance on SG&A or R&D expense trends is included in the excerpt you provided.
  
• The full press release, the earnings conference call, and the accompanying SEC filing are the most reliable sources for any such guidance.
  
• If you need the exact numbers or percentages, you’ll need to review those documents or contact the company’s Investor Relations team directly.
